For me the stand-outs are the Gernsheim VCs, the two Hausegger CDS and the Holbrooke.
Very pleased to see that Jaromir Weinberger's Wallenstein is coming out. There are few composers whose entire body of work is ignored, save one piece, the Polka and Fugue.
Finally! Somebody here must have passed on your hankering for the Gernsheim VCs, Alan! And I'd love to hear a decent rendition of the VC by Emil von Reznicek!
Maybe Burkhardt will get to the Litolff 'Eroica' Concerto before Hyperion!
The soloist on the Gernsheim CD is Linus Roth - i.e. a virtuoso of international standing. The orchestra is the Hamburg Symphony, the conductor Johannes Zurl.
Can anyone give us an idea of what they will be issuing outside of our remit?
That would be rather a long list. If you have any specific queries, please PM me via the website or send me an email.
Yes, there is indeed lots to be be pleased about on this list, but I'm a mite narked that they aren't finishing of their series of the Raff string quartets. Six of the eight are now available (with a gap of only ten years between the two issues), and just one CD would see the series complete. Maybe I'll have to wait until 2025...
The catalogue says that the projects mentioned are only a selection of what they are planning.
Apologies: I should have made that clearer.

After the well known "Schwanda the Bagpiper (Švanda dudák)", "Wallenstein" is the 2nd opéra by Jaromir Weinberger whose libretto was translated in German by "Max Brod"
(He saved most of Kafka's works)

A dazzling list of stuff - if we live long enough to see it released......

These recordings are supposed to be on the market by the end of 2016; cpo usually releases 6 items per month.
Specifically I was wondering if future volumes of Kallstenius, Braunfels, or Hendrik Andriessen were mentioned.
Thank you. :)
Braunfels - yes (Sinfonia Concertante Op.68 & String Quintet Op.63 - version for orchestra)
Andriessen and Kallstenius - no.
QuoteBraunfels - yes (Sinfonia Concertante Op.68 & String Quintet Op.63 - version for orchestra)
Walter Braunfels (1882-1954)
CPO 777 579-2
Henry Raudales, Violin
Norbert Merkl, Viola
Karl Reitmayer & Marc Ostertag, Horn
Münchner Rundfunkorchester
Ulf Schirmer
Sinfonia concertante Op. 68 (Concerto for Violin, Viola & 2 Horns)
String Quintet Op. 63a (version for orchestra)
The Weingartner Cello Concerto is long overdue. Hopefully CPO will bring them out soon.
No sign, I'm afraid.
Alan, thank you very much.
Alan,
Are there any other symphonies or concertos not already mentioned in your initial list?

There's a Weingartner cello concerto on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCfmzaIWlvE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCfmzaIWlvE)
I'm not sure where the poster got it from.
Used to be in our download section, I think. I don't see it now.
Very interesting the Braunfels release! He was one strong And intense composer!
Looking forward to the F. Fesca and the Molique releases.
I have a lot of CPO discs and have been looking forward to hearing more about their forthcoming issues (particularly news of the Simonsen orchestral works), but their website only offers their 2015-16 catalogue (on CD) if one orders a CPO disc of music by Hoffmeister (1754-1812). I have no intention of doing such a thing and I'm astonished that they don't offer it as a free download. Is this their usual practice? It strikes me as being not very businesslike. :(
They've always done this. The catalogue (which is a booklet, by the way) may appear online at some point, though. I'm assuming no-one minds that I spent the money to buy the catalogue - otherwise this thread wouldn't exist...
